A Post-Mortem Halloween Soliloquy
Twas the Monday after Halloween And all through the house Half-eaten candy and wrappers Were scattered about Discarded costumes Once provoking dread Lay in heaps and piles From floor to bed Pumpkin seeds saved Still uncooked in a bowl Are now turning green All covered with mold Jack-o-lantern smiles Now starting to droop Already rotting On my front entry stoop The festive décor Once strewn about in glee Just looks like another Job waiting for me They hang from knobs They are affixed on glass They are on tables What a pain in the a** So I grab another Snickers What-the-heck a Baby Ruth All confiscated In the name of the tooth As I gnaw on the Twix Sugar Babies and Mounds I curse the beginning Of my holiday pounds And as I wrap up Each decoration put away Out comes another For Thanksgiving Day So I pop one more Smarties Ready to hurl I remind myself it’s for A special boy and girl Then I self medicate With a Reese’s peanut butter cup Only 52 days to Christmas I’m gonna throw up. ©Kelli Wheeler 11/08 6 comments from 5 users

CUTE! Made me glad man-cub's too old to trick-or-treat anymore. No candy temptations around the house.

Those dang peanut butter cups...they sit there, in the bowl...taunting, daring. B/c of the rain, we had a ton of candy left over whereas we usually totally run out and I am raiding my kid's bag. I think I am just going to throw it all out. Like you said, Xmas will be here before we know it and the candy and junk will start all over again.

Try drinking a glass of milk every so often; counter-acts the sugar and allows you to eat more...LOL!Great job with the rhyme - I totally enjoyed it! Thanks! posted by

I think I might be my own worst enemy ThatTriplet Mom! The milk explains it -- I drink A LOT of milk normally, so I must be eating candy to counteract IT. Yeah, let's go with that and leave my self-control out of it. Thanks ladies, it's so much fun to know I'm not just cracking myself up.
